Lincoln's Second Inaugural address does not address "Reconstruction" of the South into the Union, nor does it address any prediction of impending issues of the emancipation of slavery; Lincoln simply suggests to the entire nation to look to God, and the ways of God, in finding answers, and coming to a peaceful resolve.

He didn't. It would have meant recognising the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. The first shots were fired by the Confederates, claiming that they were defending their own territory. Lincoln appealed for volunteer troops to put down a rebellion, in other words, defending his own territory too. That is why there was no peace treaty at the end, only an armistice.
